    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hello guys, I have some worries about harlands and there requests for money and now telling me they will send debt collectors to my house if i do not pay!!

 

I had missed an original payment which I was willing to pay as it was a fault on my behalf and when this was due, they had taken it, put it back in and had the cheek to demand more! 

I am super worried as I am in a very bad financial state at the moment and was wondering if any of you guys could help me!

the chances of them 'sending' debt collectors are slim to none. Even if they do, debt collector's can't actually take anything from your home, like a bailiff can. Debt collector's can only ask, not force. See:

What's a debt collector?

A debt collector works on behalf of a creditor or debt collection agency. They can also be called a doorstep collector or a field agent.

Sometimes a creditor letter will mention having a debt collector visit your home. But the likelihood of this happening is actually quite small.

This could be because collection agents can’t actually take anything from your property like a bailiff can. The most they can do is ask you to make a payment arrangement on the debt. The key word here is ask, not force.

@Hernandez11
 Please tell us more about history of this debt.

 

How long ago did you stop paying for the gym/health club membership ?  what contract terms do you have ? 

 

Did you stop using the gym/club, once you could not pay ?

 

What about your other debts and financial problems ?  Have you obtained advice on this yet ?  Have you written a budget list showing everything you have to pay and put it in a priority order ?

 

This is not a priority debt, so ignore everything apart from a Court claim, if they take it that far. Unlikely, but always open all post received.

We could do with some help from you.

gyms don't do court

gym accounts don't appear on credit files

a dca is NOT A BAILFF

and have

ZERO legals on ANY debt - no mater what its type.

read the letter properly it does not say WILL anything. let alone court.

 

have they also charged you any unlawful late payment 'fees'?

 

we've never seen a powerless DCA doorstepper appear for a gym debt

and even if they do

film them on your phone

tell them to leave you property or return else you'll call police 101

do not engage with them.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

get reading a good few gyms threads here in this same forum.

 

you'll soon get the idea....

any 'penalty fees' are unlawful.

Hi Hernadez,

 

1. Is the DD mandate still in place enabling Harlands to use it to take m/ship fees and/or admin fees.

 

2. When did you join the gym.

 

3. When did the DD first fail and have Harlands now taken the amount due for the normal monthly gym fee.

 

4. Have they used the DD to take any admin or late fee

 

5. Do you want to remain a member at the gym.

 

Unless you can afford to remain a member, you should cancel the DD mandate via your bank immediately, to stop Harlands using it.

 

Don't worry at all about threats from Harlands, CRS or even any "solicitor" they use -  it's all Hot Air.

You just say to the Bank that you do not require the services from the Gym, as the reason for cancellation.

 

Sounds like you got talked into taking the membership and changed your mind.

 

These Gyms are used to people cancelling shortly after joining, so  should go quiet, if you don't do anything. But do read all post you receive.

If Harlands want the DD mandate reinstated, it sounds like you already cancelled it.

 

In any event, you should check with the bank and cancel the DD yourself. You simply tell the bank it is no longer required - you don't have to justify this decision to anyone.
